Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We plan to compare data from 300 nasal swab in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside taken in 2001 to data obtained in 2005. The nasal carriage rate of MRSA and the specific characteristic of each MRSA found will be analyzed. A limited amount of associated information will be obtained

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

MRSA samples will be characterized by pulse field gel electropheresis. An 9 item questionnaire will be administered.
